Kisima Jagne, who signed with Colorado coming out of Chandler High, plans to enroll at Arizona State in the spring, his high school coach said Tuesday.

"He did not get cleared until late August," Chandler High coach Shaun Aguano said. "But by that time they had already started, so they gray-shirted him and he was going to enroll in January. But when they let the coaching staff go, he re-opened his recruitment."

ASU needs help on the defensive line, and Jagne could help. Listed at 6-foot-5 and 235 pounds, Jagne had recruiting interest from Arizona, ASU, Michigan State and Oklahoma State before committing with the Buffaloes.

"He's very, very athletic," Aguano said. "He can play with the best of them."

ASUDevils.com first reported the news. Jagne later posted his decision on his Twitter account.

Arizona State Vice President of Athletics Steve Patterson says tickets are selling well for the Dec. 29 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco.

The Sun Devils received 11,000 tickets for the contest at AT&T Park. They already have sold out of their travel packages, but prime tickets in the lower and upper bowls are available.

Single-ticket price range is: $50-85.

“There’s certainly been a lot more interest than there was last year,” Patterson said.

Patterson said ASU has 29,000 people in the Bay Area associated with ASU. He also stressed the importance of selling tickets.

“How well your fans travel is really important,” Patterson said. “It’s the No. 1 question every bowl asks and one of the key factors in the selection process.”

Details: 480-727-0000.

MARSHALL DRAFT

Senior running back Cameron Marshall will leave ASU as one of the more prolific running backs in school history. So what does that mean for his future, particularly the NFL Draft?

“A lot with Cam will depend on just how well he runs (in off-season workouts),” said Rob Rang, a senior analyst for NFLDraftScout.com. “Obviously, he’s a physical back. I’ve seen him make some pretty impressive catches. I haven’t watched enough tape to see how consistent he is, but that’s an underrated element in these bigger backs. They have to be able to catch the ball as well.”

With 2,641 career rushing yards, Marshall ranks eighth in school history in rushing yards. He is second in rushing touchdowns.

“I think he’s right on the edge,’’ Rang said. “So many teams love to go with the running-back-by-committee (approach), and as a bigger guy he can fill the role. But that at the same time he has to have some speed as well. He’ll get a get a shot. I think he can play at the NFL level, but I’m curious to see exactly what he does run.”

NOTES

*To simulate Navy’s triple-option attack, the Sun Devils have had to use a different, more athletic scout-team quarterback. Over the past week, freshman Parker Rasmussen has gotten most of the reps. Rasmussen, a former quarterback at Mesa Desert Mountain Ridge, is a preferred walk-on.

*With a logjam at quarterback, many have wondered if sophomore Mike Bercovici intends to transfer. But Bercovici, who red-shirted this season, says his priority is to play for the Sun Devils and graduate from ASU. Next year, starting quarterback Taylor Kelly returns, as does redshirt-freshman Michael Eubank, who has played situationally this season. Joshua Dobbs, ranked by ESPN.com as the nation's No. 6 dual-threat quarterback, is committed to ASU's 2013 class.

*Tight end Jason Reese of Trinity High in Euless, Texas, has de-committed from ASU’s 2013 class. ESPN.com ranks Reese as the nation’s No. 21 tight end. He is the third player to de-commit from the Sun Devils. All three are from Texas.

*Sophomore Kevin Anderson no longer is with the team and intends to transfer. Anderson entered the season at receiver but was moved to cornerback shortly thereafter.

I attended Arizona State's football banquet Saturday night at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort. This is something coach Todd Graham renewed upon his arrival. The last time the Sun Devils held a banquet was in Dennis Erickson's first season. Overall, a nice event. Very well done, and you could tell the players appreciated it. Here's a list of those honored.

A few thoughts:

*A quarterback is nothing without the respect of his teammates, and it's clear sophomore Taylor Kelly has the respect of his. When he was announced as the team's Offensive MVP, the first to stand and applaud were his teammates.

*Funniest moment of the night: When co-defensive coordinator Paul Randolph introduced the winner of the team's linebacker award, he mistakenly said "Brandon Johnson" instead of "Brandon Magee." Sitting five feet from Randolph, Magee refused to stand until someone pointed out to Randolph his mistake.

*A quiet chant of "One more year" surfaced when junior defensive tackle Will Sutton accepted his Defensive MVP award. Upon taking the stage a few minutes later, Graham tried to get the chant going again. I tried to look over at Sutton, who was sitting a few tables away, but he had his head down. He hasn't publicly discussed his future since the Arizona game, but Graham said last week that he expects him to return for his senior season. (I have my doubts.)

*Before the program, I bumped into ASU president Michael Crow. All he wanted to talk about? Jordan Bachynski's triple-double, the first in ASU history, which took place earlier Saturday.

*Seems like a day doesn't pass when someone tweets a "Graham is still there?" joke to me on Twitter. I can't predict the future, but I feel confident in saying he's not looking for his next job. When his wife, Penni, spoke Saturday, she choked up a few times while talking about how much this first year has meant to her and her family.

*For those who don't understand the importance of a Territorial Cup win: It was the punch line for every speaker at Saturday's event. And it produced applause every time.

*Graham said the team's overall GPA at last semester was 2.56.

*Speaking of the Territorial Cup, ASU auctioned off a football that was used in that game (autographed by Graham). Winning bid: $10,000. A trip to next season's Notre Dame game at Cowboys Stadium also was auctioned. This included flying to Texas on the team plane, running out on the field with the team and getting the game ball afterward. It fetched $15,000.

*Vice President of Athletics Steve Patterson brought up how much the program has changed since this time last year, and it was a good point. ASU, which had finished the season with five consecutive losses had fired Erickson and was in the midst of a messy coaching search. You know things are bad when former players are forming committees in hopes that their voices are heard. This year, the Sun Devils didn't tear it up, finishing the regular season 7-5, but they made progress. Maybe things would feel differently had they lost in Tucson, but Graham told everyone he felt like this year set the foundation for better things to come.

*Senior running back Cameron Marshall ended the program with a prayer.

Before the season, Jaxon Hood grabbed a black Sharpie, wrote down a goal and hung it on the back of his dormitory door.

It read: "Freshman All-American."

Friday, the Arizona State defensive tackle learned he had reached his goal. Fox Sports NEXT, powered by Scout.com, included both Hood and freshman running back D.J. Foster (above) on its Freshman All-America team.

"That the biggest goal,'' Hood said. "I was pretty confident that I could come in here and beat out the guys and be a starter. I was shooting for the stars. I didn't just want to say I wanted to play or be in the rotation or anything like that."

Hood and Foster both are local products. Hood attended Chandler Hamilton High, while Foster starred at Scottsdale Saguaro High. Both played at ASU as true freshmen. Hood started 11 games during the regular season, registering 23 tackles, including three sacks and four tackles for loss.

On the other side, Foster was one of ASU's top playmakers, totaling a team-high 1,014 all-purpose yards, the second most by a freshman in school history. His 36 receptions also are the second most by a freshman in school history.

"Just working hard," Foster said. "The coaches gave me an opportunity and I'm fully grateful for that."

Coach Todd Graham said both freshmen deserved recognition.

"I remember sitting here a year ago at this time and talking to D.J. about what I thought he could do and what it would mean to walk out of that tunnel,'' he said. "When he comes out of that tunnel, there's not a more popular player on our team. Him and Jaxon. That's what Arizona State University ought to be about, the best and the brightest from right here in this Valley and this state. I think that has helped us in recruiting. I think it will continue to help us when you know you can come here, represent the state university and make All-American as a freshman."

Todd Graham expects All-American defensive tackle Will Sutton to return for his senior season. The Arizona State coach said he talked to Sutton before Friday's practice, pointing out to him that as much as he's improved this year, next year could be even better.

"I treat them just like they're my son," Graham said. "If he's going to be a first-round pick, I'm going to wish him the best. He has to do what's best for him and his family and I'd never want someone to do anything but that. But he does want his degree. He does think he can improve a lot. He does know that he's benefited from the system that we have here and the people we have in place to teach him.

"Depending on (the feedback he gets from the NFL), that will have a lot to do with it, but if you ask me, I think he'll come back."

Sutton, the 15th consensus All-American in school history, didn't talk to reporters after Friday's practice. The only time he has publicly addressed his future was after the Nov. 23 Territorial Cup, when he said he would make a decision after ASU's bowl game. The Sun Devils play Navy at the Dec. 29 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco. Players who are considering leaving early for the draft can file paperwork to an NFL advisory committee that helps determine their value. The deadline is Dec. 15.

Rob Rang, a senior analyst for NFLDraftScout.com, said Friday that Sutton likely would be a second- or third-round pick if he left after his junior season.

"His production speaks for itself," Rang said. "And from everything I've heard he's very much a high character guy as well, so I think that he absolutely would be contending for a spot within the top 100 picks."

Sutton (6-1, 285) was a defensive force all season. Despite missing nearly two games because of a knee injury, he posted 10.5 quarterback sacks and 20 tackles for loss. Sutton suffered a toe injury against Arizona, an issue that's still bothering him. He was limited in Friday's practice.

"Look at Manti Te'o and the impact he had and what he did for his team," Graham said of the Notre Dame senior linebacker, a finalist for the Heisman Trophy. "Obviously, every person is different and it depends on the situation, but Will's got great parents that understand and know this type of stuff. What I told him today is you always want to do what's best for you and your family. I tell him every day I'm biased. I want to see him be here, but I really, truly want what's best for him."

Will Sutton, a defensive force all season, is a consensus All-American.

Thursday night, the Walter Camp Football Foundation named the junior defensive tackle a second-team All-American. Along with All-American recognition from The Sporting News and the American Football Coaches Association, Sutton becomes the Sun Devils' 15th consensus All-American in school history.

Kicker Thomas Weber was the last to earn the honor, doing so in 2007.

All-America teams selected by the Associated Press, AFCA, Football Writers Association of America, Sporting News and Walter Camp Football Foundation are recognized by the NCAA to determine consensus All-Americans.

Sutton (6-foot-1, 290 pounds), finished among the nation's leaders in quarterback sacks and tackles for loss. Despite missing nearly two games with a knee injury, he finished the regular season with 10.5 sacks and 20 tackles for loss. Last week, he was named the Pac-12's Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year.
